and I mention that
the U.S. military quit using manual telegraphy for fixed-point
communications in 1948.
They did? Everywhere?
Or did they simply start phasing it out in 1948?
And what about non-fixed-point communications, such as between ships?
And what about the CW courses still being taught at Fort
Huncha-something somewhere in the southwest? Ohyez, the feds still
have an abiding and ongoing interest in the use of CW.
That's for intel intercept. Listening to others use it, and maybe some spoofing
and such.
However, amateur radio isn't the military. We don't have the same mission - or
the same resources.
So, some olde-tyme hamme can say he "shot bears for navel
intelligence" and that be okay. Navel intel is fine as long as
person is for morse code.
Do you mean the pictures taken by W3RV? Guess what - they're real. Like it
or
not, civilian contractors do go out on US Navy ships. And they do see - and
photograph - some pretty unusual stuff.
Har, I forgot about that, you did see some of those shots I took
didn't ya?
Yep. Some of them. Quite impressive, actually, both the photography and the
subject.
Geez that pile of old photos was a real trip back huh?
Oyez.
Gotta love the way the Putz has twisted 'em into "Naval intel" BS.
Bad pun of "navel" noted.
No
such thing, they were typical on-the-road personal unclassified
snapshots and I never claimed otherwise.
That's true!
I wasn't a contractor, I was a direct employee of the U.S. Department
of Defense and an offical civilian guest of the skipper while I was
aboard.
Always nice to be friends with the guy in charge.
The Putz never managed to be either, his types did my drudge
work for me for cheap. Steerage dwellers.
Of course such activities are also irrelevant to amateur radio policy.
End of.
roger that!
